Seizure First Aid Training For people with Epilepsy (SAFE) frequently attending emergency departments and their significant others: results of a UK multi-centre randomised controlled pilot trial.

Objective: To determine the feasibility and optimal design of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of Seizure First Aid Training For Epilepsy (SAFE).

Design: Pilot RCT with embedded microcosting.

Setting: Three English hospital emergency departments (EDs).

Should we test for tetanus immunity in all emergency department patients with wounds?

Background: People who present to the emergency department often do not know their tetanus immunisation status. The Protetanus test can determine whether a person is immune and can guide treatment decisions.

Objectives: To examine whether testing all patients for immunity is clinically advisable and cost-effective.
